A few of my thoughts here:
- My initial thought would be what I would do if I were in his situation, and I'd probably end up spending the time with family.
- On the other hand, maybe he wants to go out on a different note, and staying in Utah and rehabbing honestly may still be 100% conducive to family life: no travel, more time at home, and Australia is in a very bizarre place with COVID for the foreseeable future. Perhaps the timing isn't right on a return back home.
- They're established here with numerous things with their kids. Obviously they'll eventually leave, but staying to rehab allows him to do this under a good situation where they're already settled and he doesn't have to rehab while also shifting their life around.
- It's not about the money, but even being able to continue to rehab while collecting a vet minimum contract is a pretty sweet gig.
- Leave on his own terms.
